Prosecutor: Saakashvili’s trial postponed due to his refusal to testify, saying he has nothing to discuss with court

The trial of the jailed Georgia’s former president Mikheil Saakashvili in the case of illegal crossing of the state border, set to have been held on Tuesday at the Vivamed clinic, was postponed, the prosecutor of the mentioned case Levan Vepkhvadze said, explaining Saakashvili had refused to testify and said he had “nothing to discuss” with the court.

Vepkhvadze noted that Saakashvili’s lawyer had earlier said he would not be able to testify due to health problems, but the former president had refused to answer the court’s questions either before or after doctor’s consultation.

The prosecutor added that regardless of Saakashvili’s position he would be given “another opportunity” to testify at the next trial.
